Former Orlando Pirates coach believes Mofokeng has a major impact on the team

Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in South African football—and it’s no surprise that he’s also among the best in his club, a view echoed by numerous experts.

Details: Former Pirates coach Arthur Zwane has stated that Mofokeng is virtually "carrying" Orlando Pirates on his shoulders, and thus is more than ready to try his hand with the senior South African national team.

Quote: "I don’t want to sound controversial. However, I think if you look at Rele—I believe he has carried Orlando Pirates. But what Rele has done at his age this season, carrying such a giant on his shoulders, I think is something else, it’s been remarkable.

We need players like him so others can see what it means to perform at this level. And now he’s definitely going to the World Cup—I don’t want people to say I’m picking him, I’m not the national team coach. But, seeing how coach Broos works, I can say that he’s already integrated into the senior national team," Zwane told iDiski Times.
